WHAT IF A CLASS I WANT IS FULL?

• If a class you want to take is full at the time of your registration appointment, register for your second choice class. Then use the Swap feature to tell the system that you want to drop your second choice class if a space opens up in your desired class.

• Using the Swap feature will automatically replace the enrolled course with the desired waitlisted one when a seat becomes available.

• Make sure to use the Swap feature instead of the Waitlist feature unless you are leaving space open in your schedule for your desired class.

• If you do not leave room in your schedule for your desired class, and you do not use the Swap feature, the system will see that your schedule is full and pass over you on the waitlist. You will then have to set up a swap, which will drop you to the bottom of the waitlist.

• The swap process is strictly adhered to. We cannot override the waitlist and place you into a closed class. Likewise, professors do not have the authority to grant permission for a student to be placed into a closed class.

• For more information on the Swap and Waitlist features, review these Waitlist FAQs.
